Curd
Curd is a delicious coolant. You can make delicious, chilled spicy buttermilk,
a glass of lassi or chachh and raita. You can also add fruits to the
curds to make a lip smacking and wholesome dessert or prepare dips during the
summer season.

Coconut
water

An inexpensive coconut is full of health benefits and has wonderful cooling
properties. It is laden with simple sugars, electrolytes and essential minerals
which help keep the body well hydrated. In addition to that, there is evidence
to suggest that coconut water has cancer fighting and anti-ageing
properties as well.

Watermelon

Another fruit that can help you keep cool. We are not suggesting you to buy the
chopped watermelon slices sold by the roadside vendors. In fact, they should
never be consumed if you want to avoid the risk of a diarrhoea infection. Bring
home a watermelon, cool it and have lots of it to benefit from the antioxidants
present in this delicious fruit.

Mint

Mint is a simple, easily available, inexpensive herb which you can add to your
curd to make pudina raita or have it in the form of chutneys besides using it
in dips. The best thing about it is that you can grow it in a small pot at home
for your use. Though it does not help bring down the body temperature, we love
it because of the delicious and refreshing taste.

Types of Kidney stones which you should know
Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stone and occur in two major forms: calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. Calcium oxalate stones are more common. Calcium oxalate stone formation may be caused by high calcium and high oxalate excretion. Calcium phosphate stones are caused by the combination of high urine calcium and alkaline urine, meaning the urine has a high PH.
